Description
This book examines the process of European Monetary Integration, itself representing one of the most significant economic initiatives of the contemporary period, and evaluates its potential for facilitating a progressive economic strategy (as advocated by social democratic labour movements). Under analysis is the idea of EMU as one step on the road to the construction of a European Social Model, in sharp contrast to what is often presented as the North American alternative of unfettered market forces.
